But for me, in the context of the film (the way I judge LOTR) it did not work at all. It was deeply problematic in terms of logic, and it pushed the boundaries of both Frodo and Sam's characters witthin the film, that stretched credulity.

The waking up in Minas Tirith scene just needed a massive tone down. Hazy, sugary lighting, slow motion movement and dialogue, etc. Didn't feel genuine at all. And IMO, it takes a heavy hand to wreck the authenticity of a scene like that.

And, of course, that video is just hilarious and spot-on. Exactly how I felt while watching the scene.
